Since Yale is racing at the competitive Penn State Invitational
next weekend, head coach Mark Young '68, the Mark T. Young Director
of Cross Country and Track and Field, placed some younger and less
experienced runners in this race's varsity seven. "Progress is
being made," said Young, who was satisfied with the day's
races.

Chapman, a freshman, and Sahlberg, who previously played soccer
for Yale, are in their first seasons on the team. Both have been
performing well recently, fresh off their finishes in Yale's top
seven on Sept. 24th against Harvard and Princeton.
Downing and Hudson also placed in that meet.

Among 322 racers, the Bulldogs combined for a total of 264
points. Boston College scored 26 points to win the title, its
second in the last three years.

Yale will next compete at the Penn State National meet on
Saturday, Oct. 16 at 11:00 AM.
